'Dad's Army' is still repeated on BBC2 and it is still funny but most sitcoms from that era were awful and even the stuff you remember as being good seems horribly dated if you try and watch it now. I do still laugh at 'Blackadder' though, despite the fact that I can recite most of the dialogue without watching it. Actually, perhaps that is the trick - set your TV show, regardless of whether it is comedy or drama, in the past and that way it doesn't date as badly.<br /><br />I think a lot of programmes had funny episodes but overall were quite lame - 'Only Fools and Horses' is a good example of this. Eveyone remembers the episode with the chandelier or the one with Del Boy falling through the bar, but most episodes of that show weren't up to the standard of those two. <br /><br />This comment is nearly long enough to be a blog post - I'll shut up now.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-54639564144844244492011-11-26T15:53:24.685+00:002011-11-26T15:53:24.685+00:00John, darling, you've got enough problems with...John, darling, you've got enough problems without sticking pins in your eyes.

And thanks for the tip, though my friend is over retirement age so gets free prescriptions anyway. I'm thinking dismally that, since pensionable age seems to get farther away the older I get, it'll be ages before I have free prescriptions. Not that I can remember the last time I needed one, mind you. Ten years, perhaps.

It certainly can make you very tired. The good thing, though, is that it entitles you to free prescriptions on medical grounds, and that's for ALL your prescriptions.
